I also have an Intel embedded card but IIRC, I disabled it in the BIOS as soon as I plugged the nvidia card (7600 GS). OTOH, it seems that device ID corresponds to nvida 9400 GT. So I would test with the nvidia Debian drivers.

The first time I installed nvidia proprietary drivers was 3/4 years ago. In that time I was running openSUSE 10.1 and hopefully, nvidia provided rpm drivers in their site so installation went straightforward (very easy and worked fine: I needed 3D for running Google Earth and Twinview setup for the two displays I had attached). That time (and that time was 4 years ago) I installed the same drivers I have nowadays (173.xx). Why I have not updated to the latest ones (195.x)? Because "if it works, don't touch it" and I don't needed to do fancy things in that computer and the old version was (and is still) working without glitches. >>> I'll look into that wiki (again), >>> >>> > it is almost like the old days of potato and woody. had to fresh up my > old brain again. so i installed nvidia-glx and the other required > packages. that 's nowadays much easier than in the wiki thanks to apt if > you start with <sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx> Yes, I have also encountered the "Debian-way" plain easy. I thought installing nvidia drivers was going to be a headache but truly was not :-) > after that i put the appropriate sections in my /etx/X11/xorg.conf. > nvidia instead of in tel and i made a module section with Load "glx" in > it. > > i restarted the X-server and now *everything is working like a charm* > > he camaleón, i really owe you, man! you really helped me out. > > many regards, Glad you got it working! :-D You're welcome.

anyone having problems with their Nvidia card and drivers should first consult Lennart Sorensen's HOWTO: http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/debian-nvidia-dri-howto.html also it is essential to have the xorg's 'nv' "driver" handy if you get kicked back to the console on startx after an Nvidia upgrade. i.e. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf -remove 'nivida' and replace with 'nv' very handy when the compile fails. and it will. -- C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
